Running Back Rank: #36
Overall: #84
Jones missed about all his rookie season because of a torn ligament in his toe. He played in six games before landing on Injured Reserve. Jones displayed his big-play ability when he was on the field, though, averaging a robust 8.9 yards per carry. Needless to say, Jones is a home-run threat every time he has the ball in his hands. He should play a bigger role in the Cowboys offense this season, serving as a compliment to Marion Barber. Jones has track speed and can make plays to the outside in a hurry. He needs to get bigger and stronger, though, if he hopes to be an every-down back in the NFL.

Jones could become a player like Chris Johnson if all the pieces fall into place. But with Barber around, Jones' touchdown potential is limited. Consider him a great flex play and spot starter at the No. 2 back spot. Jones has good total yardage potential and is capable of a big game any given week. Take him in the fourth or fifth round come draft day. |
